What do you like best?

A simple but coherent user interface that is immediately familiar with sophisticated capabilities.

What do you dislike?

Not much really. Being color-blind (daltonian) the new subtle colour schemes can cause readability problems, but that is a general problem across many platforms.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Try and identify your real needs in as great a detail as possible, share them with the elium team and they have the expertise to show you how your needs can be met, or be honest and say they are incompatible.

What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Primarily a knowledge repository. Over time consultants come and go, and needs vary according to the projects undertaken so rapid assimilation into a new project based on acquired knowledge is of critical importance.

What do you like best?

For a long time, we were seeking a solution that is both scalable, easy to use and reflect this needs of having countries and departments exchangement information. As a global pharma company, regulations is key and having a repository where not only you can track document changes, but you can unleash comments on them sparks the whole company internal communication.

I also like the fact that this is not just a tool, someone from the company came and tried to guide us as best as possible to the maximum usage of the platform.

What do you dislike?

Still a bit too work on for instance on external sharing capabilities and overall customisations of the platform. It is pretty rigide compare to a true Intranet but more flexible that social intranets such as Yammer. Not cheap neither.

Recommendations to others considering the product

If you were strugling between Yammer and Sharepoint and looking to a challenger, this is it. It is not as pharma regulated as Zinc ahead, but we decided to take a platform doing 90% of what we need then using something heavier and using only 50%.

What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Removing fences between departments and countries by using shared spaces. Ensure regulatory approval of marketing materials through workflows. Avoid the mess on our hard drive by making sure no duplicates polutte the server.
